Biography

Alejandro Reyes - Singer/Songwriter

An unexpected passion

Alejandro Reyes was born February 27th, 1992 in Quilpué, Chile. After a tumultuous childhood marked with frequent moves (from Chile to Québec), he settles in Switzerland at age 10, where Alejandro continues his education, in French. Everybody plays music in Alejandro’s Father family. Alejandro’s disability leads him to develop a very different talent : skateboarding. Born without a left hand, the young boy channels his passion into becoming an excellent skateboarder. Until one day, he receives a guitar as a gift from a friend. First picking it up timidly, he grows fond of playing, and manufactures a little “pick-glove”, with which he can play the guitar.

From the streets to the stage

Self-taught, Alejandro plays on his guitar the songs he loves, using only his ear. Strumming the chords of Stevie Wonder or Jeff Buckley’s songs, he gains confidence and soon leaves his room for his first stage: the streets. It’s there that he also develops his voice, as he had never sung before that. He then goes on to perform at numerous private functions and sings on various regional radio stations and small concerts, beginning to tell his story.

On the road to success

Alejandro has now been singing for a few years, in English and Spanish, his first language. His catchy yet emotional pop sound resonates with all ages, as the many generations composing his audience attest. Alejandro sings about his life, his vision of the world, and can’t help but let his romantic nature shine through his lyrics. His personality and talent having impressed proven artists, Alejandro will have the opportunity to perform as an opening act in the most beautiful venues of Western Switzerland.
